Today lots of people are wearing grey  Nike, Adidas, etc. (reminds me of Nazi Germany, all the grey uniforms) most of it with artificially made materials that harm the environment. When you wash an item of clothing in the washing machine, if it's not made of cotton or wool or other natural fibres, the miroplastics run out of it and into the drain and kill creatures where the water runs.

This is a quote from the website I've linked to below:

"Outdoor gear, leggings, fleeces and jumpers made from acrylic and polyester, polyamide, spandex and nylon shed up to 700,000 microfibres with each wash. Once in water, microfibres are difficult to filter out and studies have shown that these fibres are now being found in tap water in many countries."

  • Clothes are our armour.     What you wear gives a very strong first impression and will cause a reaction in onlookers.     Grey & conformist means no threat - no response required - ignore & carry on..

    Anything flamboyant puts a question mark over you - you are unknown and so further investigation leading to the need to fear or dominate the newcomer until status quo is returned.

    Most people choose to fit in because their lives are difficult enough already so why attract extra negative attention?

  • Needs a change in mindset. I had never thought about Nazi Germany having grey, but you’re right.  Even this website has a colour mode change button to go greyish. So it is a modern option. Grey represents wisdom and age. Light grey is feminine.

    *** are long gone. Somehow you must see if you can change this thinking, to like grey as it won’t go away
